"Stormfront" is a white-supremacy/white-separatism rag - surprising that
they would mention the VMs in an article, since they (if one is to treat
'Prof.' Oliver's article as a paragon) appear to have such utter contempt
for practically everything that isn't in lock-step with Lyndon LaRouche's
ideology. It seems that its having shared even some provenance with an
Italian family would invalidate it in their eyes :-).
And the beat goes on...
